Itinerary:

Your Aswan trip begins with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation by an expert guide who will accompany you to the dock on the East Bank of the Nile. Step aboard a traditional motorboat and let the adventure begin! Glide peacefully along the world’s longest river, passing through beautiful islands and ancient cataracts that have witnessed Egypt’s rich history for thousands of years. As the cool breeze brushes your face and the rhythmic waves of the Nile surround you, you’ll understand why Aswan is often described as Egypt’s most serene city.

After a 20–25-minute scenic boat ride, you’ll reach Garb Soheil Island, home to the vibrant Nubian Village. Painted houses in bright blues, yellows, and pinks greet you warmly, each corner reflecting the rich heritage of Nubian art and architecture. You’ll visit a local Nubian home and meet a friendly family eager to share their traditions, lifestyle, and stories of their ancestors who have lived along the Nile for generations. Enjoy a cup of traditional hibiscus tea or local coffee while learning about their customs, language, and colorful crafts.

This Aswan trip is not just a sightseeing experience—it’s a deep cultural connection. As you explore the narrow streets of the village, you’ll discover handwoven textiles, handmade jewelry, and charming souvenirs created by skilled Nubian artisans. You’ll have time to take photos, shop for keepsakes, or simply relax by the riverbanks surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.

Once your visit to the Nubian Village concludes, board your motorboat again for a tranquil journey back along the Nile. Keep your eyes open for exotic birds and the lush greenery that line the islands—this part of your Aswan trip feels like a peaceful escape from the modern world. Upon arrival at the dock, your driver will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel or any preferred location in Aswan, marking the end of a day filled with beauty, culture, and unforgettable memories.
